Elevate Your Office

Have you been thinking about creating an office space that feels just as inspiring as your mission? One of the top questions I get from coaches like you is this:

“What equipment do I need to start my coaching business?”

Here’s the good news: You don’t need much! Honestly, you could start your coaching business with just your phone. But if you’re ready to take things up a notch and invest in a workspace that energizes and reflects your professionalism, I’d love to help.  

Here are 6 practical tips to elevate your office in 2025—small tweaks that can make a BIG difference!  

1️⃣ Upgrade Your Audio for Crystal Clear Communication.

Good audio can make or break the experience of your Zoom calls. Here’s what I recommend to take things to the next level:  

• Invest in a simple microphone like the Fifine. It delivers clear, professional-quality audio without breaking the bank.  
• If a microphone isn’t possible right now, start with earbuds or headphones to ensure your sound quality is predictable and consistent.  

Pro Tip: Bad audio can distract from the meaningful conversation you’re trying to have. Great sound builds trust and connection!  

2️⃣ Elevate Your Video Setup for Trust and Connection.

Your smile is one of your greatest assets—show it off on clear video!  

• Use your laptop’s built-in camera to start, but consider upgrading to an external HD webcam like Angetube for sharper image quality.  
• Always turn your camera ON during calls. Being visible builds relationships and increases trust.  

Pro Tip: Eye contact on video mirrors in-person conversations—it’s a game changer for connection.  

3️⃣ Brighten Your Space with Thoughtful Lighting.

Lighting not only affects how you look on camera but also impacts how you feel in your workspace.  

• Experiment with natural light (but avoid sitting with direct sunlight behind you).  
• Add affordable tools like ring lights or rectangle LED lights (check out Ulanzi for great options).  

Pro Tip: Balanced lighting creates a polished, professional vibe on screen.  

4️⃣ Show Authenticity in What’s Behind You.

Your background says a lot about who you are. Use it to tell your story authentically.  

• Add meaningful décor like your favorite Bible verse, photos of loved ones, or a logo representing your business.  
• Keep it clean and inspiring while reflecting your personality.  

Pro Tip: A professional setup doesn’t have to be boring—add books, artwork, or a fun statement piece!  

5️⃣ Prioritize Functionality to Optimize Your Workflow.

Your workspace should work as hard as you do.  

• Consider dual monitors or a standing desk for efficiency and comfort.  
• Keep essentials like your notepad, chargers, and coffee within easy reach.  

Pro Tip: Even small investments (like a desk organizer) can make your day-to-day feel smoother and more productive.  

6️⃣ Create the Right Vibes — Your Office, Your Sanctuary 

The goal is to create a space that feels peaceful, motivating, and YOU.  

• Add small touches like scented candles, plants, or even a cozy blanket for comfort.  
• Surround yourself with items that bring joy—a favorite piece of art, photos, or even a quirky keepsake.  

Pro Tip: Good vibes aren’t just a luxury; they make your space a place you love to work in.  

Your environment matters more than you think. A well-crafted workspace helps you feel empowered, stay productive, and grow your confidence. Build a space that aligns with your values and fuels your mission to serve others boldly.
